Not sure if anyone else is watching the Blackhawks/Coyotes series, but Torres knocked out Hossa in the first period with a vicious hit. Speculation is that he will get suspended for at least 6-10 games. He left his feet and hit Hossa directly in the head with his shoulder. They had to carry Hossa off the ice on a stretcher. The worst part was that there was an official less than 10 feet away and he completely missed the call...

NHL badly needs to get things under control, these playoffs have been brutal and I could care less which player on which team is doing the injuring, hit them hard. Long suspension and loss of pay for both playoffs and regular season. Ridiculous.

The linesman nearest that Hossa hit actually flinches in the video when the hit is made, presumably because he thought Hossa would fly into him rather than drop like a sack of rocks. And no call? GMAFB. Cannot in any way say he missed the play because he's RIGHT THERE.

My wife and I were both yelling about that exact same point during the replays. I seriously thought that Q was going to burst a blood vessel in his face when he was screaming at the officials after the play. I was glad to hear that Hossa left the hospital under his own control and even happier to hear that Torres was indefinitely suspended until his meeting on Friday.

I'm really hoping that the Hawks can at least win one of the next two games (if not both) because I have tickets for Game 6 on Monday. It would be awesome to see them win the series at home when I'm there.

The Rangers played like they should have for the past few games. Hope they can pull it off in the Garden on Thursday. Can't stand Chris Neil. That guy is the dirtiest player I've seen, gets away with cheap shots, instigating fights, and yet when someone puts a nice hit on him he rolls on the ice and cries like a baby.

The play-off experience was amazing last night until the third period when the Coyotes went up by 2. After that the enegy just left the building. The Blackhawks are in desperate need of a first tier goaltender as I think this season showed a distinct disadvantage for the Hawks in goal.
